Some people were using Petzlife as toothpaste, and using way more that the product advises. The Petzlife is said to soften the tartar while you brush it away at a later date. Just a very small amount is needed, however, if you are globing it on a toothbrush, a dog could possibly swallow too much. Just dab a little on your finger, and the spray is even easier. As far as when you should start using it, I think around 7 months of age is good, because they will lose their baby teeth anyway. Twice a week is all you need to use it if you are using it as a preventative. For adult dogs that already have a bad case of tartar, the manufacture recommends daily use, but this is still much safer than the anesthesia, needed for a dental cleaning. |
